Just read yesterday about a partial fix that stops spyware in the game NFS Carbon.

You are supposed to change several registry entries. Is there a program or utility that will remove it all from the game? Before I read about the fix, I didn't even know there was anything like this in NFSC.

My game crashes to the desktop every once in a while for no apparent reason. But if something were accessing data from my HD that would probably do it.:\

Here's wher I read about it.

Good finding, I read it and it was interesting. (Especially the...*scratches* Hex Editing Codes :P)

I think the thread title is a little bit misleading. You had me hyped up...

Then why is there so much info about it on the internet? Just do a google on NFS Carbon Spyware and see the results.

I now also remember reading when the game was first released that Carbon will display ads in the game based on your specific locality. It reads your IP and determines what area you live in, then targets you with the in-game billboard ads based on that. IOW, we don't all see the same ads in the game. That qualifies as spyware to me and many others.

And the NFSC save game file has the CD key info in it, so I won't be falling for the old "need save game file" any time soon.
